First off, I got love for Daboll. It seems to me that during our losing streak, Sparano enforced his 3 yards and a cloud of dust approach and Daboll was handcuffed to it. But once the losses piled on, Daboll was allowed to unlock more of his skills as a play caller and we have seen the progression of an offense, of a QB, and of a running back. I think with him running the offense and Moore running the show (with a rookie QB waiting in the wings, we could be okay going forward)..
Now for Zimmer.. the guy is a player's coach. He's a high energy, no-nonsense, in your face guy and I'm all for that as I'm sure most players are. Not to mention, he has coached up underrated Bengals teams with no true superstars (even after losing Jonathan Joseph this past year).
Transition back to a 4-3. Sign and trade Soliai to a desperate 3-4 team looking for a NT.(2nd round pick??)
Wake as an edge rusher in a 4-3 would be insane with Odrick right next to him as a DT. Langford (or) Starks as the other DT and a rookie DE (or maybe a guy like Mario Williams or Robert Mathis)on the other side. Our LBers are already set with Dansby at MLB, Burnett and Misi as the OLBers.
We would need to draft or find a QB, a FS, and a RT through free agency. I truly believe our defense has better players than the Bengals so we could potentially have a top 8 defense.
